Hi Paul, did you read my last post? I'll be frank. It looks to me like your web service, at this point in time, is either broken and/or a scam. When I tested it, it didn't actually do any deterministic processing whatsoever, it only introduced some harmonic distortion, both on the "master" and on the file that was misleadingly labelled "before", suggesting that this is down to bad DSP rather than intention. Then, there's the issue of the "before" sample presented for comparison being attenuated by 2 dB, meaning the (otherwise unaltered) "master" will sound exactly 2dB more impressive - in your player only. Do you understand the implications from those two observations? Is there an explanation for this? |

Robin, Thank you for taking such an interest in our service and for sharing your results and feedback. As I mentioned before, we are constantly looking to improve the service. To that end, I have met with our development team and investigated the 2dB issue that you described. We found a bug in the song upload process, and it seems to be resolved now. I invite you to try uploading your song again and report the results. In addition, please stay tuned for the next version of the website which will include more user control over the mastering process. Thanks, Paul |

An automated approach to mastering in any form shows complete ignorance of what the process is truly about. |

OK. So who here was it that modified the Wiki entry? And you guys need to stop giving him ideas. Before you know it, he's going to read this thread and make the BST (Whoops. Meant VST. Freudian slip?) actually do something other than introduce distortion. |
Viitalahde wrote on Wed, 17 November 2010 00:47 |
I think he needs a double precision sine table, and he needs to read it backwards in order to save a couple of cycles every time the DEX happens, because you can omit the CPX altogether and just use BNE. |
compasspnt wrote on Wed, 17 November 2010 08:06 |
Is that sophisticated a Mastering software available in one VST, or would one have to write their own code? |

My first impressions. I’ve only had a chance to listen to this on my little Altec computer speakers, but I can already here an improvement in my mix, subtle though it may be. Sounds like some of the muddy low mids have been removed and a little limiting has been added. I expected the master to be a lot louder than my original mix. I wonder how the algorithm works. Does it try to determine the genre first, and then apply some presets? |

Conclusion I think this was a well spent $10.00. I learned somethings about my mix, in particular I could have cut some of the low mids on my chugging guitar parts. It would have been even more useful to have gotten some kind report on what was done to the mix. I think we will definitely be seeing more software like this in the future, and at some point I will try it again. |

I actually do owe the island nation of Grenada an apology. Jonestown was in Guyana. In my defense I did say "oblique reference" and they play soca in both countries. |

So those gremlin spikes at -130 are what exactly? More specifically than distortion. |
